_Posted by alex on 2026-02-14_

I’ve chopped and propped this begonia maculata and no matter what I do to try and treat, these spots are on the leaves! I can’t find anything similar to this on the internet, does anyone know what these spots are?

Any tiny moving creatures on the plant? Could be scarring from bug bites. Could also be dry spots if there’s consistently low humidity?

Could be fungal (treatable!) or it’s getting sunburn from light concentrating thru water droplets from misting and too much sun.
